Single Mama, Tiny Home: a Fundraiser
Donation protected
Please help me raise money to give a family in need a home!
I've got this amazing friend who always finds the positive, despite often dealing with hardship. Perhaps you know her. Maybe you don't. She found the strength to leave a bad marriage, and now she's raising two teens on her own - with child support checks that are insufficient and undependable. She is an extremely hard worker and fantastically thrifty, but still money is always really, really tight. Imagine how difficult that must be.
After moving from one temporary housing situation to another, her simple dream is to own a tiny house, travel trailer, or some other small dwelling - a guaranteed, forever place for her family to live. That is such a small, humble thing to wish for in this world, don't you think?
She's a strong woman, but she can't do it alone. Please help me make her dream come true. This mama and her kids deserve a home.
Any size donation is greatly appreciated. If we all chip in what we can - $5, $10, $25, $100 - in no time this family will have the funds to own their own little abode (or at least a great start on one). And you would have helped a lovely, kind family have a little more security and certainty in their lives - and one less thing to worry about. Thank you for considering, and please share this link.

Edit, November 2014:
Our favorite Single Mama has gratefully used the $1,300 raised so far to pay for refundable deposits for an apartment that is better for her family. It will still show up here as progress toward our goal, and she will still be using it toward her dream (tiny) home once she has enough to complete the project.
Tiny homes are inexpensive in the housing world, but when you are on a very limited budget, it's still a struggle to find that kind of money. Our goal is $10,000, but if you've looked for your own tiny house you know that it will likely be more than that. If you have any connections with a tiny house builder, please consider asking them to help with a match of cash, materials, or labor.
It is likely that by the time she has the funds to build her tiny home, her teens will be out of the house and building their own futures. But if we can secure their mama with a tiny house, they'll have a stable place to come home to visit her. Thank you again for your contribution, facebook share, or good wishes for my friend and her journey to her forever home.
